Remote data logging with Arduino – Bringing it all together…

Now that we have all the pieces, to tie them all togethers we need to configure our Mango M2M server to accept the data from the base unit and do some additional computations on top of those to drive more meaningful information vs just data.

You may want to familiarise yourself with key mango m2m concepts here.

The way i have setup my M2M box is to log raw data point from the arduino, and then to each of those apply the necessary calculations to arrive at the needed information. To do this i have setup two data sources

HTTP receiver

Contains all data points which are updated by the java application thats acts like the bridge between the base arduino and the mango m2m instance. To set this up :-

Mango M2M setup on a Ubuntu server is fairly straightforward, so i won’t go into too much details on the basic steps involved other than direct you to appropriate links :-

1. Install Linux (I used the Ubuntu server version) on any desktop or laptop with a working USB connection. We will use USB connection later to connect to the Arduino base transreceiver. Detailed Ubuntu server installation instructions here
